it's a secondary console IMO, with the 360 being my primary

still, i couldn't do without my wii .. i need if for the great nintendo games, even though they're few and far between like you said, and for the occasional good third party game like Okami

I'm sorry, I could never have a Nintendo console as my only console.

I'm too into HD, great surround sound to have Nintendo only. Too into REAL games.

While I like to play mario games because of the nostalgia factor, they don't speak to me directly. I'd much rather have games like Socom, Warhawk, Buioshock, Gears, GTA, etc. Nothing like that on Wii to match the performance of the 360 or PS3.

Just my opinion.

The wii has a lack of steady games. I go for months without nothing to play for with my wii. I don't like puzzle games so zack and wiki is out. No More Hero's is just plain awful. Too many droughts to be a main.

Unfortunately, for Wii-haters, the idea of a "secondary console" is nothing but damage control in light of the Wii's market domination. When console manufacturers are counting up their numbers, they don't sort them by "primary" and "secondary". Furthermore, the Wii has 21 million-selling titles, including 8 third-party million selling titles. That's more than can be said for the PS3 - and it would be interesting to see how that compares to the 360's first year million sellers.

You don't necesarily need one for good looking visuals. SMG looks good enough for me.

I love the wii but I still think it's a secondary console. I guess it depends on how fast you complete its games.

Out of 113 voters, only 29 voted it to be a primary. Enough said!

as a pc gamer it's second to my pc. it's the only console that interested me though.

I might get a ps3 in the future but a large reason would be for the bluray player.

I love Wii as my secondary console. Sure, it doesn't have as many games as PS3 or 360 but I don't even have time to play all PC games. Wii offers the most unique gaming experiences for a PC gamer and the best of all, it's cheap.

ppl could say the same about any console and just say the good games aren't their type.

A $250 Gamecube with waggle. Secondary system is the best it can hope to be (if one only owns two systems), and it comes dead fourth in the PC/360/PS3/Wii hierarchy.

This primary and seconary crap seriously don't exist. You buy a console because you want to play it, not to be some kind of idling machine for backup purposes.ArisShadows

You make a good point. Also if someone had a primary system it would change the second they got a new game for the other system. I don't know about others but when I get a new game I play many other games at the same time unless it on a handheld.

No big disrespect to anybody, but this new generation of players are so brainwashed now. I mean are you serious Secondary and Primary consoles? Where The He!! did this mess come from? I must also throw this out, how can you say that graphics are everything when the NES and its cartoon graphics did not even matter back then it was all about gameplay. Another thing when the PS2 and Xbox graphics where first shown we thought they were the best ever now everyone is calling the Wii's graphics horrible because they remind of you of Xbox and PS2 graphics. How can people flip their opinion just like that? Personal opinion: graphics should never had went passed the Xbox and PS2.
